Nothing Rhymes with Orange

from Jumping Flea by The House of Orange

/

lyrics

Look there’s a truck parked out front
They say, he comes to deliver
A present! A big bow, aren’t you?
What’s wrong? It’s shiny and silver

All of the neighbors are out
Surrounding me in a circle
She opens the box
No surprise, a hear that’s black, blue, and purple

She peaks out the curtain; she’s certain that her time has come
Their pitch forks and torture all ready to rope her…THEY’VE COME!

It’s not the same old waltz in the rain
It’s not the same old reign; nothing rhymes with Irene

I heard she gave you a kiss
Made you just what you wanted
Baby I’m happy for you
Don’t understand so you flaunt it

I like the musty and dusty smells
Of thrift-hand and storage
Or like the tang and the zest
The texture and smell of and orange

She peaks out the curtain; she’s certain that her time has come
Their pitch forks and torture all ready to rope her…THEY’VE COME!

It’s not the same old waltz in the rain
It’s not the same old reign; nothing rhymes with Irene
